I know there are a multitude of charities and etc but I just thought I might share this idea with anyone that may like handcrafted gifts.
While on vacation this past summer we came across the Southwest Indian Foundation.
Quote:
SWIF is a non-profit, charitable organization that relies solely on private donations. We receive no federal dollars. Our primary sources of funding are not huge corporate gifts or impersonal grants. Instead, they are individuals like you. Americans helping Americans.
SWIF assistance is strictly limited to Native Americans - with priority given to the elderly, handicapped, and families with dependent children. Along with the Navajo people, we also serve the Zuni, Hopi, and other pueblo tribes of the area. End Quote:
Online Donations
The Indian Craft Catalog provides a national outlet for Native Americans to sell their precious handmade goods. The profits from this catalog go directly back to the Native Americans themselves.

My wife collects Angels so I ordered her some of the hand painted Angels that they have in their online catalog:
Butterfly Angel (Example)
Just thought I would share this idea for gifts or donations :)
